Meme Coin Season Cools as DOGE Slips, But Apeing Builds Momentum

The meme coin season has seen some changes in recent days, with large-cap prices cooling down. Dogecoin (DOGE) slipped by 4.18% to $0.084753 on August 26, while Pepe (PEPE) dropped 5.39% to $0.00000371.

However, despite the decline in listed meme coins, activity remained substantial and rotational, with Solana Compass reporting $5.2 billion in weekly Solana memecoin volume, the highest since November 2025.

Apeing, a new project that combines meme culture with utility, participation, and entertainment, has seen its whitelist exceed 12,000 members, with larger holders expressing interest. The team behind Apeing plans to release more information about the project's final supply, vesting, and liquidity details through their official website.
